If you are using Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster or VxVM, configure storage
resources as follows:

Create one scalable resource group to contain all resources
for scalable device groups.

Create one resource for each Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner
disk set or VxVM shared-disk group that you are using for Oracle files.

If you are using Sun StorageTek QFS or qualified NAS devices,
configure storage resources as follows:

Create one scalable resource group to contain all resources
for scalable file-system mountpoints.

Create one resource for each Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system or
NFS file system on a qualified NAS device that you are using for Oracle
files.

The resource that represents a Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system can start
only if the file system's Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server is running. Similarly,
the resource that represents a Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system can stop only
if the file system's Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server is stopped. To meet
this requirement, configure a resource for each Sun StorageTek QFS metadata
server. For more information, see Resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS Metadata Server.

Resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS Metadata
Server

If you are using the Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system,
create one resource for each Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server. The configuration
of resource groups for these resources depends on the version of Oracle that
you are using.

If you are using Oracle 10g, Oracle CRS manage RAC database
instances. These database instances must be started only after
all shared file systems are mounted.

You might use multiple file systems for database files and related files.
For more information, see Sun StorageTek QFS File Systems for Database Files and Related Files. In this situation, ensure
that the file system that contains the Oracle CRS voting disk is
mounted only after the file systems for other database
files have been mounted. This behavior ensures that, when a node is booted,
Oracle CRS are started only after all Sun StorageTek QFS file systems
are mounted.

If you are using Oracle 10g R1, the configuration of resource groups
must ensure that Sun Cluster mounts the file systems in the required order.
To meet this requirement, configure resource groups for the metadata servers
of the file systems as follows:

Create the resources for the metadata servers in separate
resource groups.

Set the resource group for the file system that contains the
Oracle CRS voting disk to depend on the other metadata resource groups.

How to Create a Resource for a Scalable Device Group
in the Global Cluster

Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.admin and solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorizations.

Create a scalable resource group to contain the scalable
device group resource.

Set a strong positive affinity by the resource group for the RAC
framework resource group.

Tip –

If you
require Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC to run on all cluster nodes, specify the -S option
in the command that follows and omit the options -n, -p
maximum_primaries, -p desired_primaries, and -p rg_mode.

For each scalable device group that you are using for Oracle files,
add an instance of the SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup resource type
to the resource group that you created in Step 2.

Set a strong dependency for the instance of SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup on the resource in the RAC framework resource group that represents
the volume manager for the device group. Limit the scope of this dependency
to only the node where the SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup resource
is running.

How to Create a Resource for a File-System Mountpoint
in Zone Cluster

Perform the steps in this procedure to create a resource for a file-system
mountpoint in a zone cluster. For RAC configuration with the Sun StorageTek QFSshared file system on Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster and the Sun StorageTek QFSshared file system on
hardware RAID, you should create a scalable resource group to contain all
the scalable mountpoint resources in a zone cluster.

Note –

The nodelist is the list of global-cluster voting nodes where
the zone cluster is created.

Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.admin and solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorizations.
